with php.

That's perhaps a bit too snide a remark, especially regarding all the
hard work that Andrei has done with the template stuff.  Yet, it does
strike me that php was built for the purpose of making a HTML
templates.  php is a very powerful template engine for HTML.

That said, and having reviewed the template examples, I do see the
merit in the {section} concept.  It does seem easier than a
traditional for loop.  The problem is with all the other stuff, like
another way of doing "if" statements and another way to do comments.
Making now 4 ways of doing comments.

/* comment */
<!-- comment >
// comment
{* comment *}

Isn't there a way to get the Andrei's section concept into the php
core, so that we could stick with one form of syntax?
